Political Science - Juris Doctorate 3+3

University of Akron

The Juris Doctor / Master of Applied Politics is the only joint degree of its kind in the United States. Offered through the School of Law and the Department of Political Science at The University of Akron, this program prepares students for careers at the intersection of law, government, and politics. By combining legal education with applied political strategy, students gain the tools to lead in legislative affairs, public advocacy, campaign law, lobbying, and public service. Students can complete both degrees with 18 fewer credits than if earned separately, saving time and tuition while expanding their career potential.
